#LiquidGold5 appetizer BBQ campfire football fries nachos recipe tailgate tex-mex Velveeta

Campfire Tex-Mex Nacho Fries

This post is sponsored by VELVEETA® . All opinions are my own.

campfire tex-mex nacho fries with velveeta #liquidgold5 #ad | Mama Harris' KitchenNow that our youngest kids are getting older, we are beginning to plan more adventures for our family. One thing we look forward to is going camping together as a family. I think our boys would have a blast and would love to do fun things like build a tent, fish, and tell some spooky stories around the campfire. Something we’re also looking forward to is fun campfire meals like these Tex-Mex nacho fries. They’re super easy to put together and feed about 3-4 people per “bowl”. Recently we had a mock camping adventure, creating fun times in our own backyard. Of course we had our big barbecue pit, but if we were to go camping we’d surely take along the smaller more portable one and nothing else would change about this recipe.

campfire tex-mex nacho fries with velveeta #liquidgold5 #ad | Mama Harris' KitchenThese nacho fries combine great Tex-Mex flavors, including black beans, corn, tomatoes and jalapenos along with liquid gold aka VELVEETA®. All the ingredients are easy to pack for a camping adventure and easy to put together for backyard fun too. Whatever your summer plans are, they should definitely include some Campfire Tex-Mex Nacho Fries, with just 6 ingredients they are a fun favorite!

Ingredients:

  • 1 (27 oz) package frozen seasoned fries
  • 2 ounces VELVEETA® loaf, shredded (NOTE: a single serving of VELVEETA® is 1 oz.)
  • 1/4 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup jalapeno slices
  • 1 roma tomato
  • 1 corn on the cob, grilled then kernels cut

Directions:

campfire tex-mex nacho fries with velveeta #liquidgold5 #ad | Mama Harris' KitchenMake two bowls with four pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil. For the first bowl, place the two sheets of foil in opposite directions of one another, making a sort of cross. Bend the edges up, and fold them over to connect with one another, making a bowl. Follow the same directions with the second bowl, then split the fries between the two bowls.

campfire tex-mex nacho fries with velveeta #liquidgold5 #ad | Mama Harris' KitchenPlace the fries over direct heat in the barbecue, folding the edges up so that they are almost closed on the bowl. Shake the “bowl” around every 8-10 minutes so they don’t stick to the foil. Close the barbecue to bring the heat up as close as you can to 400 degrees, and only open in order to shake the fries and check how done they are.

Heat in indirect heat on top rack of the grill, or off to the sides if it’s a smaller grill. Once the nacho fries seem almost done, move the corn towards the heat to  get a bit of char on them.

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

Get the recipe and all the Vidalia Onion details by clicking the link in my profile or desktop users can click here for the recipe >> https://mamaharriskitchen.com/2021/06/pan-seared-shrimp-veggie-rice-bowl-vidalia-onions/ .

Also make sure to grab some Vidalia Onions from your local grocer before they are out of season in late August/early September.☀️

This time of year I love warm, comforting recipes that are super easy and delish. This ridiculously easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is a one pot meal, ready in under 30 minutes and uses already prepared rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor (and ease)! With a tasty blend of flavors and textures, it’s like a bowl full of comfort. 

Get the recipe by clicking the link in profile at @mamaharriskitchen or just google “Mama Harris Kitchen Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup” 🍲 Enjoy!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
